The North Face has announced the launch of its first collaboration with Danish womenswear label Cecilie Bahnsen. The collection merges Bahnsen’s signature feminine designs with The North Face’s technical expertise, creating a balance of exploration and elegance.
Drawing inspiration from The North Face’s archive, particularly the work of the late Ingrid Harshbarger, the collection reimagines classic pieces through Bahnsen’s romantic lens. Highlights of the collection include the reimagined Mountain Dress, modern reinterpretations of the classic Mountain Jacket, and fresh takes on the Basecamp Duffel and Glenclyffe Boot—all offered in a monochromatic palette of black.
Garments in the collection are constructed using performance fabrics paired with technical finishes brought to life through Cecilie’s expert detailing. Outerwear pieces serve as protective layers over Bahnsen’s delicate cloud-like forms, seamlessly blending function, durability, and femininity. Couture-inspired elements—such as 3D floral appliqués and flowing scalloped edges—add a soft, feminine aesthetic to the versatile, everyday-ready pieces.
To celebrate the collection, Cecilie Bahnsen and The North Face have launched a campaign centered on female artistry and strength. It stars Olympic silver medalist Brooke Raboutou, five-time UK national lead climbing champion Molly Thompson-Smith, and pro climber Solenne Piret, who walked in the Cecilie Bahnsen SS25 show, where the collection debuted. The imagery was shot at the iconic Fontainebleau, a climbing destination located roughly 40 miles south of France.
“This campaign is such a special moment for me—it captures the meeting of two worlds, where the feminine and the outdoors come together in perfect harmony,” says Cecilie Bahnsen. “Seeing these strong, inspiring women embody both elegance and strength while climbing in the designs was incredibly moving and highlights the synergy between our brands.”
The Cecilie Bahnsen x The North Face Spring/Summer 2025 collection will be available March 13th on The North Face website, Cecilie Bahnsen’s website, and at select retailers. Grab a look at the collection below.
